CC, one will be just for garlic.
Ral spent the day putting it all together while I rushed around like a mother hen making sure all was ok.

I showed DH the photo of Ral and his commented was......."can I have a fancy shed like that?"
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Cookie, just let him move into kitchen. ,!
Today I planted Broad Beans and Snow Peas.
Will bring lettuce seedlings back from Cherokee. One bed planted.
We are still eating beans, silver beet, artichokes, parsley, basil and kale from Cherokee.
Today swapped lemons, seeds and sweet chilli sauce for Raspberry jam and green tomato sauce.

Tip, I let one lettuce go to seed and the bend the top over so it is touching the ground. This produces hundreds of seedlings. Most are given away.

What a great idea Chookie.  I've never seen a lettuce going to seed!

Looks like Ral is playing with black fittings, just like I do every day..
Hope the drip system works. :)
